Tourism and Mobilities: Local Global Connections

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: In the current trend of increasing globalization, relationships are evolving between global and local realities, rich and poor regions of the world and `old` and `new` leisure and tourism patterns. The tourist has become an active agent in their travel expereinces, moving between and among multiple localities, in an environment of transnational, interconnected social networks. In order to understand the modern tourist, concepts of mobility have begun to be applied to tourism studies and have questioned whether the word tourism is any longer sufficient to describe the complex socio-political milieu of people on the move. Bringing together theoretical and practical issues, this edited volume analyses tourism`s wider role as an agent for the mobile modern population of the world. Themes range from post-modern youth and independent mobility to theoretical texts on hypermobility and citizenship within global space and mobility, media and citizenship. Offering a thought-provoking [detailed...]

Tourism and Politics: Global Frameworks and Local Realities

2007 y.
Publisher: Elsevier
Description: Tourism and Politics aims to disseminate ideas on the critical discourse of tourism and tourists as they relate to politics, through a series of case studies from around the world written by specialists with an emphasis on linking theory to practice. That tourism is a profoundly important economic sector for most countries and regions of the world is widely accepted, even if some of the detail remains controversial. However, as tourism matures as a subject, the theories underpinning it necessarily need to be more sophisticated, tourism cannot be simply `read` as a business proposition with a series of impacts. Wider questions of politics, power and identity need to be articulated, investigated and answered. While the making and consuming of tourism takes place within complex political milieux with multiple stakeholders competing for benefit, the implications are not fully understood. Literature on tourism and politics is surprisingly limited. This book will make a substantial [detailed...]

Tourism and Sustainability: Development, Globalization and New Tourism in the Third World

2009 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: If unequal opportunities are large within many countries they are truly staggering on a global scale, so concludes the World Bank`s 2006 World Development Report. It is a global unevenness within which the barriers to in-migration of Third World migrants to wealthy first world nations go ever higher, whilst the barriers to travel in the reverse direction are all but extinct. So how exactly can tourism contribute to narrowing this glaring inequality and gap between the rich and the poor? Are ever expanding tourism markets - and the new, responsible, forms of tourism in particular - a smoke free, socio-culturally sensitive form of human industrialisation? Is alternative tourism really a credible lever for lifting poverty stricken countries out of the mire of global inequality, setting them on the right track to `development`, and making poverty history? Tourism and Sustainability critically explores and challenges what have emerged as the most significant universal geopolitical [detailed...]

Tourism in Destination Communities

Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionAs a result of the ongoing growth in the tourism industry, many destinations around the world are undergoing transformations.

This book describes both the positive and negative effects of tourism on the host community. [detailed...]

Tourism in the New South Africa : Social Responsibility and the Tourist Experience (Tourism, Retailing and Consumption)

Description: Book Description A new model of tourism development has recently emerged out of a widening concern for the morality of tourist experience. Known variously as ecotourism, new tourism, socially responsible tourism, huge claims are made for it in terms of what it might offer in promoting national tourism development. Yet how well does this new model work in practice? And what does it mean to be an international tourist encountering the cultural, political and economic particularities of the South African experience? Garth Allen and Frank Brennan seek to explore the realities of this new morality of tourism as experienced in four important tourist areas of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa: the greater St Lucia WetlandPark - South Africas third largest reserve and a vast and beautiful area accredited World Heritage Status, the Phinda Resource Reserve, renowned for its diverse habitats and rich wildlife, Kosi Bay, a wetland area of [detailed...]

Tourism, Globalisation and Development: Responsible Tourism Planning

y.
Publisher:
Description: Tourism is booming worldwide--it makes up a massive part of the global economy. Donald G. Reid`s book focuses on tourism in developing and less-developed countries. He examines its social and environmental impact and offers a timely critical analysis of the part it plays in globalization. Many of the world`s poorest countries rely on the tourist trade for the major part of their income. However, all too often, the local communities involved do not reap the benefits of this trade. Developers often excludelocal communities from the initial planning and decision-making process, viewing them either as a benign resource to be exploited, or as an impediment. Reid presents a rigourous critique of corporate-led tourism development and lays out alternatives thatwould give planning and control to the local communities involved. He argues that only in this way can the vastly differing requirments of each community be addressed, and social and environmental issues can be dealt with properly. The [detailed...]
